Pixel Repair can detect both dead and "stuck" pixels. The program cycles through full screen colors to make detecting an issue easy to notice. Note that although dead pixels are a hardware problem, repair options are available for stuck pixels.

To manually set the path to wallpaper to the application directory or a sub-directory just use the pathway setting as a period, seems to work on my machine at least. Vista SP1

IE "LastPath=."

Emka: updated.

I'm actually glad this situation came up as I'd forgotten all about this program and have the exact sort of setup tproli is talking about: a monitor situation without a simple off button. Saves a lot of time and energy.

Wizzer on 2024-04-29 12:45

Tried it out and it solved my problem of a faulty power button at the front of the monitor. I have a lap-top connected to an external monitor.

The version downloaded (spring 2024) seems to be a portable version from 2009 and it stores settings locally in a configuration file Monoff4.ini.

I made some notes from my experience and information gathered from the web. The information may be useful to other users,

When run, Monoff4.exe puts your monitor into either a "Low Power" mode or a "Power Off" standby mode. Then the application exits.
The mode is determined by the configuration settings.

Monitor re-activation is by a keystroke.
Monitor re-activation can also be by mouse movement, depending on the configuration settings.

### Configuration Settings ###
Settings are stored in the file Monoff4.ini file that is present in the application directory. The configuration entries are in text format.
## To change settings
Press and hold the space bar and and double click on Monoff4.exe.
The configure mode is entered, release the space bar.
Note that settings are saved only if you click on the "Save settings" button.

A Hotkey can be assigned from within the properties tab of the applications's desktop shortcut.
For example:- Cntl Alt F12

Would love to have something like this that accepts command line arguments, so I could set up hotkeys to control it with AutoHotKey.

MultiRes v1.58

billon on 9 Jan 2019
  • 93KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 12 Sep 2006

MultiRes works like an updated version of the venerable "QuickRes" applet for Windows 95, with administrative scripting facilities and extended capabilities to handle refresh rates and multiple monitors. Supported resolution and refresh rates are accessible from the command-line or from a simple menu that pops up from the system tray.

An optional timed confirmation prompt "enabled by default in the program About box" ensures that any changes you make can be reversed safely, without fuss.

be careful with this one! i accidentally assigned a hotkey that conflicted with one used by my file manager. when i hit the key to switch desktops, bosskey crashed, and i couldn't for the life of me get back to my other desktops, where unsaved work was calling to me. i lost an hour of writing because of this program...

"i accidentally assigned a hotkey that conflicted with one used by my file manager"

@jameson I think you would do better to be careful when assigning hotkeys
